      Cultural Crossroads - T.J. Ravenscroft

      1

      Introduction

      An adherent of the Slow Movement addresses long-term sustainability issues presently related to the organization of work. This paper discusses what is thus far unknown: the period when a society stops moving slowly. How does the external policy environment do to an indigenous community’s ability to continue a slow-paced life? At a point in the not-too-distant future, will cake recipes require the preparation of a meal one month in advance of celebration? Such a scenario is not far-fetched. Back in America’s Gilded Age, some readers may recall, one of the latest recipes to go from Brazil to the United States—fudge—required hand-beating for around 15 minutes. Fudge’s palatial appeal and success at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago aroused rapacious American industrialists into converting small-scale cocoa production into a commodity crop. Village economies teetered, but local traditions remained unchanged. Fudge itself, though loved by homemakers, would not be grand enough for the tables at Mark Twain’s 70th birthday celebration until 1915.

      What happens when food of indigenous communities goes global? The massive transformation of a simple nut, drawing omnipotent multinational corporations into a botanic epic saga of adventure, disruption of global trade routes, and human ingenuity. Along the way, the ancestral trade routes that connected the native people of the Guianas to the Amazon and the Andes penetrate our consciousness; reminding us that beneath every indigenous product that goes global lies spirituality and intrinsic sustainability due to coevolution. This issue of biocultural diversity highlights how the custodians of the world’s biodiversity value creativity and intelligence.

      1.1. Purpose

      We cannot be ethically responsible for the future of humanity until we become interested in who we used to be and where we came from. If not a single nation on earth is a born cultural impotent, what then is driving practical, intelligent people into such a dead end? With so many new economic opportunities opening up as a result of globalization, a typical culture gets more support from the state, raises the morale of local talents, and turns into a language of international academic conversation. The presented are research papers that explore food habits and cultural traditions of Aboriginals and Koreans, peculiarities of administration of a nursing unit by Filipinos, Russian meme-related praise, ecologemes, and place names, the idea of community in the Athenian political thought. These papers provide data on IKS in different disciplines.

      In the rapidly globalizing world, many countries and nations are facing the danger of losing their cultural identity, or imploding from the inside. It is no longer possible to achieve a state of adequate innovative and economic development by isolating their own national culture and science. On the other hand, the only possible path we can take towards our positive development is the one that follows the natural trajectory of human development and the age-old humanistic ideals of creativity and commonality. We often consider the principles and ideals of our predecessors to be
